What I would really like to do is: - -* $ git annex add --no-add-if-already-present . -* $ git commit -m "Slurping in some photos I found on my old laptop hard drive" - -And then I'd do something like: - -* $ git clean -f - -to remove the files that didn't get annexed in this run. That way, only one filename would ever point to a particular SHA1. - -I want this because I have copies of various of mine (photos, in particular) scattered across various hard disks. If this feature existed, I could comfortably toss them all into one git annex that grew, bit by bit, to store all of these files exactly once. - -(I would be even happier for "git annex add --unlink-duplicates .") - -(Another way to do this would be to "git annex add" them all, and then use a "git annex remove-duplicates" that could prompt me about which files are duplicates of each other, and then I could pipe that command's output into xargs git rm.) - -(As I write this, I realize it's possible to parse the destination of the symlink in a way that does this..) - -> [[done]]; see [[tips/finding_duplicate_files]] --[[Joey]] |
